The Argentinian Pedro Cachín advanced this Wednesday to the third round of the US Openfourth and last Grand Slam of the season played in New Yorkby winning a true tennis battle against American Brandon Holt 1-6, 2-6, 6-1, 7-6 (7-1) and 7-6 (10-6).
Cachín, born in Bell Ville, Cordobaand ranked 66th in the ATP world rankings, put together another tremendous performance in his US Open debut and beat American Holt (303) on court 12 of the Billie Jean King Tennis Center complex, in the New York neighborhood of Queen’s.
The Argentinian, who is going through the best moment of his career at the age of 27 and won this year four Challenger titles (in Madrid, Prague, Todi and Santo Domingo), had appeared at the US Open last Monday with a tight win in five sets over the Slovenian Aljaz Body (347).
This Wednesday, the scenario was repeated, but this time the one who raised two sets of disadvantage was Cachín, who started erratically and imprecisely due to the solvency of Holt, arising from the previous classification of the tournament, who had come to surprise in the initial round his compatriot Taylor Fritz (12).
In the third phase, Cachín will face Frenchman Corentin Moutet on Friday (112), who defeated the Dutch Botic Van de Zandschulp (22) 6-4, 1-6, 6-2 and 6-4.
